Fender Princeton Recording Guitar Combo Amplifier (20 Watts, 1x10 in.)

Fender's new Princeton Recording Amp offers all of the great tone and dynamics of the original, plus several modern studio-friendly features. Its all-tube preamp, power amp and reverb circuitry is based on the classic '65 Princeton Reverb, and, with 20 watts and a 10 in. Jensen speaker, it provides spanking vintage tone and enough output for small gigs and rehearsals. The trans-impedance power attenuator lets you crank up the amp for full output tube overdrive and set the speaker volume as low as you want (even silent for headphone use)! Learn More...

Feature:
I think that it gives more bang for the buck than other amps. The compressor and overdrive features are great. The reverb is classic. I also appreciate the power attenuator which allows you to achieve great sounds at surprisingly low volumes.

Quality:
Looks great, and has a quality feel.

Value:
Generally, I see this amp selling for about $1,000. This is a superb value. I was comparing it to amps that sell for $1,800. I think this amp is a killer value. I would not only use it in the studio. I would mike it out and gig with it.

Desirability:
I want it for the awesome sounds you can get with ease.

Sound:
I love the sound of this amp. I play a range of styles from rock to blues and contemporary Christian music. I love the natural tube distortion you can get with this amp. The compression is awesome feature and saves on a stomp box. The only reason i didn't rate it a ten is because I liked the clean sound on a Fender Tweed Deluxe ($1,800.00 and no distortion) and I thought that the Mesa Lonestar (also $1,799) Special had more versatility as far as distortion sounds go.

Ease of Use:
You can achieve awesome cleans to vintage Hendrix with the twist of a few knobs. Pro effects loop. Outrageously easy to get great sound.

Support:
Never had to deal with them.

Overall:
I would be satisfied owing this amp for many years to come.

Value:
Expensive, but worth it!

Sound:
Doesn't get any better in a small pro-recording amp! Does exactly what it's designed to do. Great tube distortion at extremely low volume levels. Ability to use headphones is a plus in situations where noise levels are a concern. Also, the best vinage, clean sound W/reverb I have ever heard from any amp in any class. This product is an instant classic!
